Judicial Watch Asks Court To Order Feds To Find Rest Of Clinton Emails

Judicial Watch filed its opposition to the Department of State’s attempt to dismiss a lawsuit that would force the agency to recover former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s remaining emails, the conservative nonprofit watchdog announced Monday.

“It is astonishing the Trump administration is defending Hillary Clinton’s email scheme in federal court,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement. “The State Department should initiate action with the Justice Department – and both agencies should finally take the necessary steps to recover all the government emails Hillary Clinton unlawfully removed.” (RELATED: Trump Could Tear Down Obama’s FOIA Secrecy.

Clinton used a private server located in her New York home and private email addresses to conduct official business during her tenure as the top U.S. diplomat, and she and her top aides used private email addresses.

“There is a high degree of probability that at least some of the emails not yet recovered were sent between at least some of these individuals and Secretary Clinton,” Judicial Watch claimed. “It is also worth noting that the FBI itself has discovered that thousands of emails remain to be recovered.”
